LOVE INJECTION WITH BARBIE & PAUL @ The Lot Radio 01 - 07 - 2023

The tape recorder was running, this was about 3a.m. on a Chicago night 2001. My friday night party, "The Hole". We did this party for about a year in Chicago, it was private. I gave Toby many of these recordings, he named this tape like many back then I made by what songs struck him the most. This night is so clear still, many great moment and memories This first from the main boxes of my cassette collection will be an endless series of tape transfers of my music journey through life.

Back upstairs in the loft and another one from tape archive...and a fierce one reared it's head again from DJ/Artist/Producer that really left some stunning house music in his legacy and was a bad boy DJ as well as producer even back then...Mr Bobby Konders. Bobby laced us with now classic tracks like his House Rhythms Ep...feat Nervous Acid and the deep house classic The Poem. Also his work on Massive B are also classics in the deep house sound. Bobby really delivered the sound of Deep House as I and many remember going out dancing and buying house music from 89-91-92 would remember. Very dreamy moody tracks that sway perfectly in the 5-7am zone at that ideal/dream party I have in my head...I know I'm not alone in those thoughts...Here we hear Bobby in the mix for his show back on WBLS New York in 1989, featuring many jams from back then and even earlier..some great mixes and moods that Bobby creates in the mix. Bobby as far as I know is pretty much a pure Reggae man now...something that was always apparent in his earlier house music and DJ mixing, Bobby played some choice New York parties back then inc House Nation and Wild Pitch and even visited the Ministry Of Sound in it's first year. This one has some jams for sure..Bobby showing his blends in this varied genre and killer show.

Who else sounds like Larry Heard? In the late 1980s, The Chicago house producer was one of the first artists – initially as a part of Fingers, Inc., and then as a solo act – to truly stamp their own unique aesthetic onto the nascent style of electronic dance music. Favouring lush instrumentation, foggy chords and dreamy melodies over the more mechanic pounding of many of his counterparts, he inspired the "deeper" sounds of the midwest's second wave, and generations of young clubbers elsewhere around the world. 

This In Focus features close to 3 hours of untouchable deep house beauty from Larry Heard - compiled, mixed and edited by [Giles Smith.](https://www.nts.live/shows/giles-smith)

Juanita's Mix 007 with Dee Diggs @dee_diggs

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I’m a DJ, a black queer woman, and a music lover. My DJ bio central theme is ‘a selectress with no inhibitions’ because if a song makes me feel something specific then I will play it for other people to see if it elicits the same feeling in them. I seek to keep everything I do playful yet intentional.

Q. How long have you been involved in the NY music scene?
A. I’ve been performing in NYC as a DJ since the spring of 2018 and moved here in the fall of that year. So it’s been 1 year and 9 months of being based here. I always had a hunch I’d enjoy living in Brooklyn and I do.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix has a lot of nostalgic sounds and emotional vocal tracks on it.  It’s a very warm and personal mix. It’s a mix of voices and sounds for those who find themselves feeling lonely or trapped during this quarantine. This is the kind of music I would play for me and a good friend chilling at my home: tribal rhythms, soundscapes, 90’s boom bap, funk, and tributes to legends like Pharoah Sanders & Manu Dibango. I feel it conjures up a very groovy loving place to go to in your mind. Somewhere you can set your worries down & boogie.
